3D Reconstruction for a Complex Pediatric Redo Aortic Arch Surgery in a 9-Year-Old Ukrainian Refugee

Surg Technol Int. 2023 Dec 15:43:115-117. doi: 10.52198/23.STI.43.CV1738.

Abstract

Redo aortic surgery poses significant challenges, particularly in complex scenarios involving congenital heart conditions that have been previously operated on several years prior. The integration of three-dimensional (3D) reconstruction and printing holds immense potential to greatly improve surgical precision, particularly in critical situations.
